Good Evening. Welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:51.:01:55.

The family of the murdered British student Meredith Kercher say they

:01:56.:01:57.

may never know what really happened to her when she died in Italy in

:01:58.:02:02.

2007. They were speaking after Italian judges reinstated the guilty

:02:03.:02:05.

verdicts against Amanda Knox and Rafaele Sollecito. Meredith

:02:06.:02:10.

Kercher's sister said said they were still on what they called "a journey

:02:11.:02:13.

for the truth" about what really went on in Perugia. Today Amanda

:02:14.:02:19.

Knox said she was going to fight until the very end any attempt to

:02:20.:02:22.

extradite her from the United States. Raffaele Sollecito, Amanda

:02:23.:02:26.

Knox's former boyfriend, was today banned from leaving Italy after

:02:27.:02:29.

being arrested by police close to the border. This report from Luisa

:02:30.:02:34.

Baldini contains some flash photography.

:02:35.:02:46.

Amanda, how do you feel about the guilty verdict. Refusing to show her

:02:47.:02:50.

face, let alone answer questions, Amanda Knox left her mother's house

:02:51.:02:54.

in Seattle following convictions -- the convictions, but was later at TV

:02:55.:02:59.

studios in New York where she gave an emotional but defiant interview.

:03:00.:03:05.

I will never go willingly back to the place where... I am going to

:03:06.:03:12.

fight this until the very end. And it is not right, and it is not fair.

:03:13.:03:19.

And I'm going to do everything I can. Granted, I need a lot of help.

:03:20.:03:27.

I can't do this on my own, and I can't help people understand this on

:03:28.:03:32.

my own. But it is in Italy that she stands accused of murdering Meredith

:03:33.:03:38.

Kercher, and in spite of claims that they did not get on, Amanda has

:03:39.:03:42.

always said they were friends. It was shortly before the murder that

:03:43.:03:45.

Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito started dating. Although he has been

:03:46.:03:50.

at some court hearings, it was not there for the verdicts, and these

:03:51.:03:54.

latest pictures show him leaving a police station in northern Italy

:03:55.:03:59.

near the border with Austria today. Police say they detained him and

:04:00.:04:02.

confiscated his passport. It is reported he may have been trying to

:04:03.:04:08.

flee. For Meredith's family, the verdicts are just another stage in a

:04:09.:04:13.

long process. We are still on the journey to the truth. And it may be

:04:14.:04:19.

the fact that we don't ever really know what happened that night, which

:04:20.:04:24.

is obviously something we will have to come to terms with. The verdicts

:04:25.:04:29.

reinstate the original convictions, based on the first trial in 2009. So

:04:30.:04:35.

what was the main evidence against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito?

:04:36.:04:39.

The prosecution said that both the DNA of Amanda and Meredith was on

:04:40.:04:41.

the knife a believed to be the murder weapon and that Sollecito's

:04:42.:04:48.

DNA was on Meredith's bra clasps, although that evidence was

:04:49.:04:52.

contested. Her behaviour was also questioned, when Amanda and Raffaele

:04:53.:04:56.

Sollecito were seen kissing hours after the body was found, which was

:04:57.:05:01.

deemed suspicious. The prosecution always claimed that Amanda Knox,

:05:02.:05:05.

Raffaele Sollecito and a third man, Rudy Guede, still in prison for the

:05:06.:05:09.

crime, had been involved in a sex game that went wrong, but after

:05:10.:05:14.

appeal she was acquitted in 2011, and Amanda was immediately freed and

:05:15.:05:17.

allowed to return home to the United States. She will have no choice on

:05:18.:05:24.

this, because this legal process of the Italian, assuming the Italian

:05:25.:05:30.

Supreme Court confirms it, Amanda Knox will be facing an extradition

:05:31.:05:35.

process, an extradition hearing, I have no doubt. First, Amanda Knox,

:05:36.:05:42.

Raffaele Sollecito and the Kercher family will wait for the report to

:05:43.:05:45.

be published in 90 days giving the reasons for the convictions. Only

:05:46.:05:50.

then can they appeal. The next phase of the lengthy legal process to find

:05:51.:05:53.

definitive justice for Meredith Kercher.

:05:54.:05:58.

So as we've been hearing, Amanda Knox says she'll fight all attempts

:05:59.:06:02.

to send her back to Italy. Let's talk to our North America

:06:03.:06:04.

correspondent Nick Bryant. What likelihood is there that she will

:06:05.:06:07.

one day be extradited to face the courts once again in Italy? There

:06:08.:06:17.

are many Americans who regard Amanda Knox as the victim of a miscarriage

:06:18.:06:22.

of justice from a legal system they think is shambolic and medieval. The

:06:23.:06:26.

Court of opinion in America is firmly on her side. If America

:06:27.:06:31.

agreed to an extradition request, a legal process with layout. She would

:06:32.:06:37.

have her day in court and could contest her extradition. But if a

:06:38.:06:41.

judge said she had to go back to Italy, the decision would come back

:06:42.:06:45.

here to the state department, and legal considerations would be in

:06:46.:06:50.

play, but also political and diplomatic considerations.

:06:51.:06:53.

Politically, she has some powerful backers on Capitol Hill, public

:06:54.:06:57.

opinion is on her side. Diplomatically, does America want to

:06:58.:07:02.

anger arose and also jeopardise extradition requests for its own

:07:03.:07:06.

fugitives on American soil that it wants to bring back to America? It

:07:07.:07:10.

is a compensated process which could take years. I have just been

:07:11.:07:13.

speaking to a lawyer who said it is a real 50-50.

:07:14.:07:17.

The Met Office is warning of yet more flooding this weekend, as a

:07:18.:07:21.

band of heavy rain sweeps across the UK. Nine severe flood warnings are

:07:22.:07:24.

in place tonight with fears that coastal flood defences and sea walls

:07:25.:07:28.

could be breached. In Aberystwyth, hundreds of university students have

:07:29.:07:31.

been told to leave their sea-front accommodation because of fears for

:07:32.:07:37.

their safety. And in Somerset intense preparations are underway to

:07:38.:07:39.

protect already flooded stretches of the Somerset Levels. Jon Kay has

:07:40.:07:43.

spent the day there and has sent this report from the village of

:07:44.:07:52.

Burrowbridge. If you thought the weather forecast

:07:53.:07:55.

was depressing, spare a thought for James. Here we go again, just what

:07:56.:08:05.

we don't need. 90% of his farm is already underwater. This is all the

:08:06.:08:10.

farmland which should be nice green grass. With heavy rain falling

:08:11.:08:15.

again, James fears that things are about to get even worse. Stomach

:08:16.:08:21.

churning. You just ring, last time we had 30 millimetres of rain on the

:08:22.:08:27.

hills, it rose eight .5 inches within 12 hours. You can see how

:08:28.:08:30.

close it is to the buildings and the house. It is a high spring tide as

:08:31.:08:36.

well, so we have that battle. It is set to be a very wet weekend, and on

:08:37.:08:41.

the Somerset Levels it is already spilling over the roads. Over the

:08:42.:08:45.

last couple of days the level of the water has been slowly dropping, but

:08:46.:08:50.

this afternoon we have more heavy rain, the wind is blowing hard, and

:08:51.:08:52.

look, warnings in place yet again.

:08:53.:09:35.

Aberystwyth was hammered at New Year, and now it is set for another

:09:36.:09:39.

pasting. These students have been told to leave their halls of

:09:40.:09:41.

residence for the third time since Christmas. It is lasting too long

:09:42.:09:49.

now. It would be nice to stop having evacuations. Hopefully it will pass

:09:50.:09:52.

and we don't have another crazy winter. In Cornwall, part of the

:09:53.:09:59.

South West coastal path has been closed after a landslip. It looks

:10:00.:10:04.

like a mass movement in the cliff face with active erosion which has

:10:05.:10:08.

led to cracking. There is very little that can be done apart from

:10:09.:10:14.

divert in the path. In Sussex, it was railway lines blocked by

:10:15.:10:17.

landslips, leaving commuters delayed for the start of the weekend. So

:10:18.:10:23.

tonight, Britain is braced all over again for heavy rain, high tides and

:10:24.:10:29.

huge gusts. It seems February is about to arrive with the same the

:10:30.:10:37.

Russell T as the New Year did. -- the same ferocity. 140 miles from

:10:38.:10:44.

soaking Somerset, at this moment the Environment Secretary is sitting

:10:45.:10:47.

down in Westminster to chair another meeting of the government's

:10:48.:10:51.

emergency COBRA committee. To give you an idea of how relentless this

:10:52.:10:56.

weather has been, it will be the 16th time that committee has met to

:10:57.:10:59.

discuss the climate and the weather we have suffered since all of this

:11:00.:11:05.

began just before Christmas. And it is not just wind and tides and rain,

:11:06.:11:09.

some people are getting snow as well this weekend. Ministers are

:11:10.:11:13.

stressing that at least as far as Somerset is concerned, they are

:11:14.:11:16.

grabbing things by the scruff of the neck.

:11:17.:11:19.

A British husband accused of hiring a hit man to kill his wife while

:11:20.:11:23.

they were on honeymoon in Cape Town has lost his High Court attempt to

:11:24.:11:26.

block his extradition to South Africa. Shrien Dewani claimed he was

:11:27.:11:30.

unfit to stand trial because of his mental health problems. His wife,

:11:31.:11:34.

Anni, was shot while in the back of a taxi in November 2010. Mr Dewani

:11:35.:11:38.

can still appeal against today's judgement but his wife's family say

:11:39.:11:47.

they will fight on. It has been three-year 's and three months so

:11:48.:11:52.

far. It has been a long time. We have had to fight in so many

:11:53.:11:55.

different courts but we are happy we can go forward now.

:11:56.:11:57.

The owners of the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing site in Cumbria say

:11:58.:12:00.

higher than normal levels of radiation detected at the complex

:12:01.:12:02.

this morning were caused by naturally occurring radon.

:12:03.:12:04.

Nonessential staff had been told not to come into work after the

:12:05.:12:07.

abnormalities were detected. The company says staff can now return to

:12:08.:12:11.

work as normal and that there is no risk to the public.

:12:12.:12:22.

Dozens of leading public schools are facing a sharp rise in claims for

:12:23.:12:26.

historical sex abuse allegations dating back decades. One legal firm

:12:27.:12:31.

says the schools should pay American-style financial damages

:12:32.:12:34.

running into hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of pounds, to

:12:35.:12:37.

compensate victims whose lives have been ruined by abuse. Such claims

:12:38.:12:42.

could threaten the future of some of the smaller independent schools.

:12:43.:12:50.

Britain's great public schools. For many young boys, institutions that

:12:51.:12:54.

have been the making of them. But for some, the breaking of them. We

:12:55.:12:59.

now know that hundreds of children suffered often lifelong damage from

:13:00.:13:02.

sexual abuse by staff at some of the country's most prestigious private

:13:03.:13:09.

schools. Now, a British- American law firm is seeking US style

:13:10.:13:14.

compensation pay-outs from UK courts, demanding damages in some

:13:15.:13:19.

cases of over ?1 million. The message, I think, to people who do

:13:20.:13:23.

bad things is, go to Great Britain because you can frolic and do

:13:24.:13:26.

whatever you want with our children, and at the end, if you are caught

:13:27.:13:30.

and you have to pay, you will pay a very small price. In America if you

:13:31.:13:35.

do this and get caught, it is going to hurt. If people don't pay real

:13:36.:13:38.

money to stop this problem, it is not going to end. As a teenager at

:13:39.:13:44.

St Bede 's College, Catholic hoarding school in Manchester in the

:13:45.:13:49.

late 1950s and early 1960s, Rick Merrin was repeatedly and severely

:13:50.:13:52.

abused by the headmaster, Monsignor Thomas Duggan, and two other

:13:53.:13:58.

priests. I woke up and I was faced down. I don't need to explain what

:13:59.:14:15.

they did to me. From top of the class to a life of disappointment in

:14:16.:14:19.

work and relationships. A psychiatric report concludes that

:14:20.:14:24.

his abusers stole the golden future he should have had. He is among

:14:25.:14:28.

hundreds of public schoolboys who have gone to lawyers seeking damages

:14:29.:14:30.

for abuse often committed decades ago. In 2011 And Other St Bede 's

:14:31.:14:40.

teacher, Father William Green, admitted 27 sexual assaults on boys

:14:41.:14:44.

in the 1970s, with the possibility of personally facing damages

:14:45.:14:49.

claims. Seven governors at St Bede 's resigned. It has not been seen in

:14:50.:14:54.

child abuse cases before but legal experts say that the courts could

:14:55.:14:58.

order substantial compensation. There might be a considerable

:14:59.:15:02.

financial settlement at the end of this. What motivates you to do it.

:15:03.:15:07.

Is it the money? Nothing could make up for what happened to me at school

:15:08.:15:10.

and the impact it has had on my life. If it comes to some form of

:15:11.:15:16.

financial settlement, it would be some small way of making up for it.

:15:17.:15:22.

Only last November, inspectors rated St Bede 's child protection policies

:15:23.:15:27.

on satisfactory, and the college, now a coeducational Catholic Day

:15:28.:15:30.

School, has promised to review safeguarding policies, insisting St

:15:31.:15:34.

Bede 's is a safe and secure environment. Public revulsion at the

:15:35.:15:40.

perpetrators and sympathy towards victims has led many more people to

:15:41.:15:43.

find the confidence to tell their stories. Now, with lawyers

:15:44.:15:48.

considering punitive damages for historical abuse, the very survival

:15:49.:15:53.

of some of written's oldest and most established institutions could be

:15:54.:15:59.

under threat. I can tell you that in the 1970s and 1980s particularly,

:16:00.:16:03.

the words child protection were never really used. The culture has

:16:04.:16:09.

completely changed, and I think it is very unfair on the teachers and

:16:10.:16:14.

parents of children in those schools, and the children

:16:15.:16:18.

themselves, if a school was to be forced to close as a result of

:16:19.:16:20.

something which happened decades ago. The prospect of American-style

:16:21.:16:28.

court pay-outs toppling ancient educational institutions will

:16:29.:16:32.

outrage some, but others will protest that only by demanding

:16:33.:16:37.

significant compensation can society properly value the life of a child.

:16:38.:16:45.

It is 16 minutes past six. Our main story: Meredith Kercher's family say

:16:46.:16:51.

they are still on a journey to the truth after murder convictions are

:16:52.:16:55.

reinstated against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. Coming up: The

:16:56.:17:02.

actress Sienna Miller gives evidence to the phone hacking trial about a

:17:03.:17:06.

voice mail she left for the James Bond actor Daniel Craig.

:17:07.:17:10.

Later on BBC London: "A lack of dignity in his dying days" - a

:17:11.:17:13.

daughter demands to know why her father was so poorly cared for in

:17:14.:17:16.

hospital. And we meet the capital's rugby

:17:17.:17:18.

captains hoping to lead their countries to glory in the Six

:17:19.:17:20.

Nations. They are two leaders from different

:17:21.:17:36.

backgrounds, but when David Cameron hosted the French president for a

:17:37.:17:41.

summit today, the emphasis was supposed to have been on

:17:42.:17:44.

cooperation. There was some agreement with announcements on

:17:45.:17:48.

defence, energy and space. But divisions were quickly exposed over

:17:49.:17:52.

the future of Europe. David Cameron wants reform with every negotiator

:17:53.:17:58.

EU treaty by 2017. Francois Hollande is less keen, describing it as not a

:17:59.:18:02.

priority. This afternoon, Bill to legally under pin David Cameron's

:18:03.:18:08.

pledged to give voters a referendum was killed off in the House of

:18:09.:18:13.

Lords. With more, this report from our deputy political editor, James

:18:14.:18:15.

Landale. It contains some flash photography. The French president

:18:16.:18:20.

arrived alone at a windy airbase near Oxford. It is a businesslike

:18:21.:18:24.

venue for a businesslike summit, very much without spouses. Their job

:18:25.:18:30.

today was to repair a relationship worn thin by diplomatic spats.

:18:31.:18:37.

Differences over policy, the prime and it openly at knowledge. We are

:18:38.:18:42.

not going to agree about everything. I'm a British Conservative and he is

:18:43.:18:47.

a socialist. They agreed where they could, above all on defence, with

:18:48.:18:53.

plans form or joint exercises and anti-ship missiles. But over lunch

:18:54.:19:05.

at the pub that once appeared in Downton Abbey, they discussed their

:19:06.:19:08.

fundamental disagreements over Europe. Mr Cameron wants Britain's

:19:09.:19:14.

relationship with the EU to change. We want to see those changes. We

:19:15.:19:18.

want to see that renegotiation, and that will involve elements of treaty

:19:19.:19:24.

change. Then there will be a referendum in Britain before the end

:19:25.:19:28.

of 2017 that is an in out referendum. Back in London, a bill

:19:29.:19:33.

designed to enshrine the referendum in law was being killed off by

:19:34.:19:38.

peers. But here, even the premise of a referendum was worrying the French

:19:39.:19:41.

president, who fears treaty change could force into hold a referendum,

:19:42.:19:47.

too. TRANSLATION: If there are going to be a member to the text, we don't

:19:48.:19:51.

feel that for the time being they are urgent. We feel that revising

:19:52.:19:55.

the treaty is not a priority for the time being. We can't just expect to

:19:56.:20:03.

follow the example of one country in Europe in order to determine the

:20:04.:20:09.

rest. David Cameron's problem is that if he is going to achieve

:20:10.:20:13.

reform in Europe, he needs allies. The Nao, France into -- isn't one.

:20:14.:20:21.

Do you think your private life has made France an international joke?

:20:22.:20:28.

Are you still having an affair? I'm afraid I decline to answer. So,

:20:29.:20:34.

sharp question asked and a few deals signed, and a long conversation

:20:35.:20:39.

between two men with reviews about the future of Europe. -- different

:20:40.:20:44.

views. The actress Sienna Miller has told

:20:45.:20:47.

the phone hacking trial she did leave a message saying 'I love you'

:20:48.:20:50.

on the voice mail of the James Bond star Daniel Craig, but insisted its

:20:51.:20:54.

meaning had been misunderstood. Ms Miller told the court she had had

:20:55.:20:57.

what she described as a brief encounter with the actor. A former

:20:58.:21:00.

News of the World journalist claims the paper published a story based on

:21:01.:21:03.

the voice mail. Our home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds, reports.

:21:04.:21:10.

This report contains some flash photography. Sienna Miller and

:21:11.:21:15.

Daniel Craig, on-screen lovers in their film, layer cake. But

:21:16.:21:18.

off-screen, their relationship has been pored over in this trial. It

:21:19.:21:24.

she called him from the Groucho club in Soho, London, and leave the

:21:25.:21:29.

mobile phone voice mail message? It is important because the keeper

:21:30.:21:32.

seclusion witness, former reporter Dan Evans, said she did. But he

:21:33.:21:38.

illegally intercepted it and played it to Andy Coulson, then the editor

:21:39.:21:43.

of the News of the World, proving he knew all about phone hacking. Mr

:21:44.:21:47.

Coulson's barrister says it didn't happen. Over a video link from New

:21:48.:21:51.

Orleans, Sienna Miller was asked, did she remember leaving the

:21:52.:21:55.

message? She said, it is likely, not impossible. She admitted she had had

:21:56.:22:00.

a very brief encounter with Daniel Craig. But she said she was

at the time, in 2005. Dan Evans has given evidence that intercepting the

:22:21.:22:24.

voice mail resulted in a big story for him and the paper, one that Andy

:22:25.:22:27.

Coulson absolutely knew the source of. In an intense week in court, Mr

:22:28.:22:33.

Coulson's lawyers have been questioning that story, suggesting

:22:34.:22:37.

the voice mail did not exist and could not have been the basis for

:22:38.:22:43.

the story. That other sources must have helped the newspaper. But

:22:44.:22:46.

Sienna Miller said it could easily have inspired such a story. Somebody

:22:47.:22:50.

intercepted the voice mail and would have thought it was a pretty

:22:51.:22:53.

exciting message to hear. At least, she said, somebody do -- who didn't

:22:54.:23:01.

understand her nature. Sienna Miller's private life has long been

scrutinised, including during the Leveson Inquiry. It has happened

The Conservative MP for Thirsk and Malton, Anne McIntosh, has been

:23:25.:23:27.

deselected by her local party and won't stand as their candidate at

:23:28.:23:30.

the general election next year. Miss McIntosh, who was elected with a

:23:31.:23:33.

majority of more than 11,000 in 2010, says she'll stand as an

:23:34.:23:36.

independent in the seat. She's been involved in a long-running dispute

with her local party's executive committee.

The Prince of Wales has strongly criticised climate change deniers.

:23:45.:23:47.

Prince Charles, who has campaigned for many years to reduce global

:23:48.:23:49.

warming, said at an awards ceremony last night that the disbelievers

:23:50.:23:52.

were 'the headless chickens brigade', and that powerful

:23:53.:23:54.

anti-climate change groups were putting up a barrage of sheer

:23:55.:24:03.

intimidation. The England cricket coach Andy

:24:04.:24:05.

Flower has stepped down following this winter's woeful performances by

:24:06.:24:08.

his team as they lost the Ashes series in Australia. The

:24:09.:24:13.

announcement came on the day England lost to the Aussies yet again in a

:24:14.:24:16.

Twenty20 match, as our sports editor, David Bond, reports.

:24:17.:24:26.

Just four needed... Another day, another thrashing for England down

:24:27.:24:32.

under, this time in Twenty20 International in Northern. This has

:24:33.:24:36.

been one of the worst Ashes tour is on record, and today Andy Flower

:24:37.:24:42.

paid the inevitable price. Appointed in 2009, he and his quiet authority

:24:43.:24:49.

was initially credited with transforming English cricket. But as

:24:50.:24:52.

results dipped, he was accused of fostering an arrogant majoris

:24:53.:24:53.

culture. In a statement, he said: They almost seem to get soap scared

:24:54.:25:19.

of Andy Flower. -- so scared. That is a concern. He has done an amazing

:25:20.:25:22.

job for a few years. I thought the players looked a bit robotic. So how

:25:23.:25:29.

will his era in charge be remembered? He was the coach who

:25:30.:25:32.

delivered England's first global one-day trophy back in 2010. He led

:25:33.:25:38.

a team to three back-to-back Ashes wins, historic achievement. But this

:25:39.:25:44.

year's five - zero thrashing by Australia has scarred his time at

:25:45.:25:48.

the helm. Despite the disaster down under, Andy Flower said he wanted to

:25:49.:25:55.

carry on as head coach will stop but, following a meeting here at

:25:56.:25:59.

Lords yesterday, it became clear that his position was untenable. Now

:26:00.:26:05.

I knew man must attempt to rebuild England's team. -- new man. Doubts

:26:06.:26:11.

remain over Alastair Cook's future as captain of the Test and one-day

:26:12.:26:16.

teams, and the perennial problem of managing star batsmen Kevin

:26:17.:26:18.

Pietersen will be the first task for whoever becomes the new head coach.

:26:19.:26:25.

Andy Flower turned England into the Test team in the world, but their

:26:26.:26:30.

decline was almost as rapid as they arise. More big changes might be

:26:31.:26:34.

needed before English cricket truly recovers. An all-important look at

:26:35.:26:42.

the weather now. It is going to be a wet one. Yes,

:26:43.:26:48.

more bad news, really, Kate. A three pronged attack continues. The rain

:26:49.:26:52.

has eased in Somerset. That is the good news. Heavy rain across the

:26:53.:26:56.

rest of the UK. Lots of puddles on the news. Some snow across Scotland,

:26:57.:27:03.

risk of it in Northern Ireland. The rain is clearing away to the east.

:27:04.:27:07.

As we go through the nightmare they will be another band into Wales. --

:27:08.:27:13.

through the night, there will be another band into Wales. It could

:27:14.:27:19.

all freeze up as the possibility of things turns icy. The biggest

:27:20.:27:24.

concern for tomorrow is the risk of further flooding. That is thanks to

:27:25.:27:28.

some strong winds around the coast. There are already severe flood

:27:29.:27:31.

warnings in force. There is the flood line number. The Environment

:27:32.:27:35.

Agency are particularly concerned and say there's a risk to life.

:27:36.:27:38.

Please do not go out looking at the waves around the coast of Wales in

:27:39.:27:43.

south-west England. High tides tomorrow, combined with strong

:27:44.:27:46.

winds, mean a real risk of very big waves and that coastal flooding. 70

:27:47.:27:54.

mph is possible on exposed coasts. It is a blustery and showery day

:27:55.:27:58.

wherever you are. The showers are wintry early on. Not too many

:27:59.:28:04.

getting to the east, it is a bit dry hair. Elsewhere, expect the showers

:28:05.:28:08.

and expected to feel cold in the wind. Sunday is a breezy day, still

:28:09.:28:14.

with some showers, but overall something of a respite. There will

:28:15.:28:18.

be as many showers but the wins will be lighter and there will be more in

:28:19.:28:22.

the way of sunshine stop still a risk of some high tides. Lots of

:28:23.:28:27.

weather warnings and a huge number of flood warnings. They are all

:28:28.:28:30.

available on the BBC Weather website. We return now to reminder

:28:31.:28:37.

of the main story. The family of Meredith Kercher say they want

Amanda Knox extradited to Italy after her guilty verdict was

:28:43.:28:44.

reinstated by the court. That's all from the BBC News at Six,
